What is the difference between eco-industry and traditional industry?

In this article, I will share with you the definitions of eco-industry and traditional industry, and the differences between them. Let's take a look at the specific content.

What is Eco-industry Eco-industry is a comprehensive industrial development model based on the principles of eco-economics, characterized by resource conservation, clean production and multi-level recycling of waste, relying on modern science and technology, and using ecological laws, economic laws and systematic engineering methods for management. It simulates the function of ecosystem, establishes an industrial ecological chain equivalent to "producer, consumer and restorer" of ecosystem, and aims at low consumption, low (or no) pollution, and the coordination between industrial development and ecological environment.

The difference between eco-industry and traditional industry (1) pursues different goals.

Traditional industrial development model takes one-sided pursuit of economic benefits as its own responsibility, while eco-industry pays equal attention to industrial economic benefits and ecological benefits.

(2) The development and utilization of natural resources are different.

Due to the unilateral pursuit of economic benefits in traditional industries, numerous industrial and mining enterprises, over-exploitation and single utilization of resources have caused a series of problems such as resource shortage, energy crisis and environmental pollution.

Starting from the goal of giving consideration to both economic and ecological benefits, eco-industry makes rational exploitation of resources, makes various industrial and mining enterprises interdependent, and forms a network eco-industrial chain, thus realizing intensive utilization and recycling of resources.

(3) The requirements of industrial structure and layout are different.

Traditional industries are similar in industrial structure and centralized in industrial layout, which is incompatible with local ecosystem and natural structure.

Eco-industrial system is an open system, which requires reasonable industrial structure and industrial layout to adapt to its ecological system and natural structure and conform to the principle of inclusiveness of eco-economic system.

(4) Different disposal methods of waste.

Traditional industries throw away waste. Eco-industry is a model of "raw materials-products-wastes-raw materials".

(5) The circulation control of industrial products is different.

As long as it is an industrial product that the market needs, traditional industries will be liberalized.

Eco-industry is harmless to the ecological environment, and industrial products that conform to market principles can be circulated.

What is a traditional industry? Traditional industry is the general name of industrial departments that have been established since the industrial revolution and are still producing on a large scale. Traditional industries are driven by traditional energy sources and characterized by machine technology. Generally, it includes textile industry, steel industry, shipbuilding industry, automobile industry, electric power industry and other departments. Traditional industries are mostly labor-intensive or capital-intensive industries. Adopting advanced technology to transform traditional industries and improve their production technology level is of great significance to promoting the development of industry and national economy.
